Is it possible to upgrade the Ram on the motherboard and the power supply?

RAM yes, power supply is external like the one on the Xbox 360, alienware sells an upgrade but I don't remember the W.

If you are buying a Alienware X51 Gaming machine, you will get a 240 Watt or a 330 Watt power Supply. The 330 Watt is as high as they go right now, don't know if that will ever change. As far as Ram goes the limit is 8 GB on the early Models and 16 GB on the newer ones.

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

Motherboard, i3-4130, 2 DDR3 ram cards = yes. If you want to calculate yourself, try this link http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx

contact 'computer upgrade king' and inquire. I think they can make it with whatever you want in it.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

yes you can. but to be 100% sure check asrock ram comparability list from their website, look for the ram brand you are considering.

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

The power supply is fine for the unit as is, unless you decide to upgrade something like the graphics card. That would necessitate a power supply upgrade as well.

No, there is only room for 2 GB of ram. You will have to remove the 512 ram and replace them with 4 modules of 512 each. They need to be in matched pairs of memory modules.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

I haven't physically opened to verify whether or not the RAM can be upgraded however from reviewing the specifications I would assume the RAM is soldered

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

Though I haven't tried, I'm sure you can. The only upgrade I've made was to add a 500W power supply.

Yes, this is possible: you can easily upgrade the HDD and increase the RAM in this computer
